READ THE PRESS RELEASE BEFORE FIELDING NEW PRODUCT QUESTIONS!!!
Look guys, I'm on this board and I read that review because I want my pre-ordered HH2004 to be as good as you guys. I hope it's awesome. I don't know yet.
What I do know is its not what I thought it would be. Why? Am I misguided, uninformed?
Nah, I just got the "now that you've paid for it", details from the interview posted above.
Check out the features listed on the preview on this and other sites, and then check out the " we hope to in a future version" BS answers to the very questions regarding those features from the geeks at 3DO.
Case and Point:
AD:
Player Customization. Use the Player Editor and Create A Player functionality to make every player look and play exactly how you want!
Q&A:
Will we be able to edit players accessories and attributes, if so what is available to us?
(TO MAKE THEM PLAY AND LOOK EXACTLY HOW WE WANT??)
Tony: Some yes, and we’re definitely going to consider adding a lot of new player editor features. The Create-A-Player mode will be similar to that of High Heat 2003 PS2. There will be a few more variables, but it won’t be as far reaching as that of our previous PC versions. However, further improvements, will be likely be made for future versions.
THAN DON'T ADVERTISE YOU CAN!!!
And check out this dandy of an answer:
Q
How about a list of names that the computer announcers will recognize if used on a created or edited player?
Mike: I don’t have easy-access to that list. Try it and find out for yourself.
ATTA BOY. MAKE US "FIND OUT". YOU GET PAID TO DO A JOB. JUST SAY NO, WE KNOW THATS THE ANSWER. DON'T DO THE Q&A WITH BS ANSWERS LIKE THAT.
YOU ARE THE DAMN SENIOR DIRECTOR FOR GOD'S SAKE OF COURSE YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THAT!!!
And ther'e more, but I'm sick of typing and I'm sure you are sick of reading.
Those are big areas for me. I'm an editor mad-man. Gotta have rosters current and accurate visually and content-wise.
I don't mind doing the work myself like in LIVE 2003. How many of us took time re-edit appearance / attributes for accuracy? Lots. These are reasons why I got the game.
Pissed off.
